That moment.....

when you realise it’s
the last day of February and no, you don’t have a couple more days before the
end of the month to do a blog post!!!So, here I am, squeezing in a February post with a few hours to spare!

Once again February
has been a mix of things, busy for the first half and slightly less so the
second half.I do have two small
finishes to share and one small new start.

First up, I have
finished The Gardener from BBD’s Garden Club series….

This one I looked
forward to stitching but I seem to get bogged down in it and found that, for
whatever reason, I was glad to finish it and be able to move on. It is such a pretty square with the delicate
colours but it became something of a chore to stitch.

That makes 7
stitched and 5 to go.It feels good to
be more than halfway now and I’m hoping that’s the impetus I need to keep going
with them.I would really like to have
them all stitched in the next few months but, we’ll see!!!

I’ve made a start on
How Does the Lily Grow, 10th in the series.This is another pretty square with delicate
colours.

And the final piece
I can share is the finished Fa La La Snowman freebie from Plum Pudding
Needleart which I had started last time round….

I do like this
little guy and as I already have plans to send him to a new home at Christmas
it means I’ll likely be stitching him again for myself.

So there we have it,
my February update.Not much to share
but I guess steady progress!!It seems
hard to believe that it will be March tomorrow – Spring just around the corner –
can’t wait!!

Thanks for all your
lovely comments. I really do appreciate that you take time to leave them
especially when I am not the regular blogger I used to be.

Oh, gosh, you just reminded me I have to START the Garden Club series, so I'm waaaaay behind. Sorry it was a chore to stitch the gardener one. Do you know why? I'm stitching Country Cottage Needleworks Santa's Village and I'm finding the holly and candy cane borders to be a chore, though I'm halfway through and looking forward to the end (maybe for this year's Christmas time?).

I always love seeing a new post from you, Lois! The BBD Garden pieces have the prettiest colors and it looks like you are making quick work of them. Love that happy snowman--he was one of my first finishes way back when I started blogging :) Of course, now, my finishing has improved and I'd love to take him apart and re-finish him. But, will I? Probably not--ha ha!

Hi Lois,I am so happy to see the Garden Club Series finished here. I do have only some of the patterns, but I love them (unfortunately - I do not know if it is a problem of my Mac or if it is up to blogger: There aren't any pictures to see on your older posts ...)

The Falala-Freebie is on my list since years, because I love it, whenever I see it. Thanks for sharing!
